Sectional test probe assembly for electric meter

Abstract

The test probe assembly of the invention is used for an electric meter such as a multimeter or the like. The electric meter has a main body. The test probe assembly includes a pair of insulated rods, a pair of probe tips and a pair of leads. The insulated rods are separately provided with two corresponding engaging portions, so that the insulated rods can be combined or detached. One end of each probe tip is fixed in one of the insulated rods and the other ends are protrudent. The leads connect between the insulated rods and main body. The combination or detachment of the test probe assembly may form a variety of configurations for different measured objects.
